The stock market to day presented few feat
ures of interest, and in measure subsidized into
the dizziness existing during week before last.
Under the improved feeling generated on Sstur-
day stocks opened strong. and the demand from
London and the shorts made a further improve
ment. But when this had been satisfied, which
was not long after the opening, the usual dull
ness appeared, and considerable pressure was
brought sgsinst the list. Operators are await
ing developments in the Oregon Northern Pa
ciic stocks, and these are attacked again, aud
Oregon Navigation, which had opened at two
percent, was knocked of two and three-qusr-
tiers ana closed unchanged. Oregon Trans
Continental and the Northern Pacific
were weaker on the general USt early
in the day, and Western Union and Pacific
Mail later. Missouri Pacific led the early ad-
vances squirting up sharply, though most of the
gain was afterward lost. There was an utter
absence of news. and the bears seem to have
ceased the rum0rs and talk which had influence
upon the speculation last week.
The first sales were made this morning at ad-
vaaces from q to q per cent over Saturdays

further gains were established in the early
trading. Missouri Pacific being most prominent
with a squirt OF 1M per cent, fol-
lowed by Wheeling and Lake Erie with
1sz per cent The latter held its advantage
but the general list was soon depressed below
the opening figures. and Missouri Pacific lost
most OF its gain. The market then became very
quiet with scarcely any movement In prices un-
til in the afternoon, wnen q further fractional
depression was brought about. The dizziness
was then intensified and lasted until the last
hour, when some advances were made, and the
market closed quiet but firm. The entire active
list, with but few exceptions, show small frac-
tons in advance but Wheeling and Lake Erie
is up 3and Missouri Pacific rs.
